Subheim – Foray

Upon hitting “play”, a haunting depth opens. Despite its understated rhythm, the melody is, somehow, incredibly convincing. An almost ritualistic chant in the first half of the song acts as both compositional boundary and atmospheric enhancer. Are the choirs gloomy or ecstatic? This one is indeed a foray, a foray into an abyss where the imagination can wander and find wonders, or terrors. It’s all a matter of free will.

German producer Subheim is one of my recent finds when it comes to dark ambient electronica. Judging by what I’ve heard so far from him, it sure looks like I’ll feature his music again.
